Where Can I Find A Tutor?

Free Tutoring Centers

RIT offers a number of excellent free tutoring centers where students can drop in for help. Many students get into a practice of studying or doing their homework in the centers to take advantage of the services if needed.

Academic Departments

Students should first check with their academic department to determine what tutor services are available.
